Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are 104 and 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the given ratio - 8:3

The sum is given i.e 143.

We have to find both numbers.

So we let both the numbers be 'x'.

So, 8x and 3x are the numbers .

Now , in the question it is given that the sum of two numbers is 143. It means we will add both the numbers .

So, 8x + 3x = 143 ( as the sum is given in the question)

So, 8x + 3x= 143

11x = 143

x = 143/11

x= 13

So , the value of 'x' is 13.

Now , we have to find the numbers .

So, the first number is 8x = 8*13 = 104

for second number is 3x = 3*13 = 39.

Hence , the numbers are 104 and 39.
